I am not sure I understand your statement. Are you saying that
files/directories added with -graft-points are put directly on the ISO image,
without RR attributes to be computed for them?

I swear I read the man page and there is no mention of this - should I have
known that I would have built a tree of symlinks myself :-)

PS On a freshly downloaded version of cdrtools 2.0.1a38:

./mkisofs/OBJ/x86_64-linux-cc/mkisofs -version
mkisofs 2.01a34 (--)

Shouldn't the version of mkisofs say 38?

./mkisofs/OBJ/x86_64-linux-cc/mkisofs -r -J -graft-points -o /tmp/test.iso
a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h/i.txt=/etc/motd
./mkisofs/OBJ/x86_64-linux-cc/mkisofs: Directories too deep for
'a/b/c/d/e/f/g/h' (7) max is 6.


Thanks for your reply,
